(our tiny little) family day

I decided to take a break from, well, everything and take Morgs to Six Flags. I made the decision last night for the trip and decided not to tell Morgs just where we were going.

After a lazy morning of mom sleeping in while lil M played play dough and got her own breakfast (damn I'm loving this kid more and more each day)I packed our water bottles, snacks and picnic lunch (which we didn't eat by the way, giant pretzel temptations...)we headed to points unknown. As we neared our exit I asked lil M if she knew where we were going. I assume she recognized some of the geographical markers and guessed we were going back to our Easter break destination, Branson. And guessed Silver Dollar City..

Side note: this child has one phenomenal memory. Seriously...its scary. I really need to start watching what I say around her...

As we approached the exit I encouraged the young one to shift her gaze to the right, where she saw the park. Immediately she zoomed into the Ferris wheel, and proceeded to recall the story of last year's (note: 2 years old) visit to Six Flags, where we couldn't go on the Ferris wheel due to a swarm of bees gathering at the top. Like I said...damn, what a memory...

Lil M was ecstatic and that just made my day.

We had a wonderful day riding all the rides she was big enough for. I made a conscience decision to leave my phone in the car. I was with the most important person in my life so really, why did I need my phone? I did not want to be bothered. I let M run the day, ride what she wanted (and was able) to ride, as many times as she wanted. Although I did interject at spending too much time at the playground, I mean really. I can go to a playground for FREE!!!

It was so nice to just spend the day with my lil gal with no worries of the time or no access to phone/email/text. Letting her call the shots. All in all we had a fantastic family day.

Vote for Joy G!!!

Since I've been sparking. I've met some great folks and feel 210% better in regards to my health. I haven't been sick *knock on wood* I have more energy, my clothes fit better and I just feel so good. This site has helped so many people, including Joy G. who really deserves to win this makeover from Macy's. Please vote for Joy G. Hint...she's wearing a red sweater.

and eagles soar, a mother's day to remember

Happy Mother's Day all you mommies!

I've never been a huge fan of mother's day, I mean I appreciate my mother and totally think she deserves recognition, but the whole Mother's Day thing always seems to be so over the top. I suppose we have hallmark to thank for that one, along with Valentine's Day.

After a fantastically ego boosting Mother's Day eve out, I groggily drug myself to church to hear my precious lil gal sing for mother's day...she did sooooo good!



We then headed up the river to the Valdalabene bike trail on the Great River Road , after getting lost we finally arrived and disembarked from a boat dock on the trail. What a beautiful day for a ride down the river. Just the two of us riding down the river road, watching the eagles soar and picking daisies.

It was a great mother's day, much better than waiting in line 2 hours for a brunch or some lame-o card from hallmark.

Facebook and Jackasses

Sooo....Its been awhile, I know, I know. So much as happened been a busy while. Lots has happened and will update retrospectively at a later date.

As you may know I'm a huge fan of facebook.. So just recently my ex fucktard has decided to frequent facebook and decided to 'friend' me.

Ok...yea.

Not cool, jacko, not cool.

I know its kinda stupid but fb was kinda my place to connect with all my friends I didn't get to see too often cause I'm busy and qutie frankly...single motherhood sucks that way!

So now he's joined the ranks and started 'friending' all the people we used to know as a couple. Of course I'm very uncomfortable with this because I want to keep my life private and not have ammunition used against me. :/ ugh....
